Mukti has now posted a treasurer's report.  Given the delay, I won't 
wait for a motion.  If there is no objection by end of day Friday Mar 3, 
the report will be considered accepted.  Discussion (and questions) are 
permitted during that time but will not be considered objections unless 
that is stated explicitly.

No minutes are posted.  I will rule from the chair to defer approval of 
the 2015 meeting minutes to the next meeting when they will be 
considered along with the 2016 minutes.  (mukti is of course welcome to 
post the minutes before then).

Thomas Porter has been moved and seconded as a new member.  If no 
objection before end of day Friday, he will be considered a member.

So ruled.

There have been no nominations.  mukti has indicated that he wished to 
remain on the Board.  I am also willing,  No one else has spoken up.
Nominations remain open for Board members.  We need a minimum of 4 (and 
a maximum of 7).

Let's try this again this week. Nominal deadline is 3 March.

And my usual:
If for whatever reason I have not posted again *by end of day Monday (6 
Mar)*, I ask the VP to assume the chair and attempt to move the meeting 
onward, in line with the above and the Bylaw-directed agenda.
